NEcKTnE-FASTENEa SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 283,889, dated .August 28, 1883.

l Application filed May 14, 1883. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, BERTRAND J. HoR'roN, of Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Necktie- Fasteners, and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speciication.

This invention has reference to an improvement in means for securing a necktie to the collars of shirts; and it consists in a stem secured to the necktie and a collar-button constructed to receive the stem, 'so as to secure the necktie, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure l is a view of my improved collarbutton and necktie-fastener, and also a transverse sectional view of the shank of the collar-button. Fig. 2 is an end view of the col lar-button. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the collar-button, showing` the necktie-fastener secured therein. Fig. 4 is aview of the collar-button and necktie-iastener, showing the fastenersecured to the necktie by the bending of the fastening-strip. Fig. 5is a view of the collar-button and necktie, showing the fastener secured by a double strip bent into and fastened to the necktie. Fig. 6 is a v iew of a collar secured by the collar-button. Fig. 7 is a view of Y a collar and a necktie secured thereto, (shown in solid lines and in broken lines,) indicating the position of the necktie when the stem is inserted into the collar-button.

In the drawings, a is the oval shank of the collar-button made of this flattened shape, so that it will be held against turning in the button-holes ofthe shirt-band and the collar.

2 and 3.

Aso that the disk grests against b is an oblong hole made Vin the collar-but- Y g is a disk to which the stem e is secured, and h is a strip which is inserted in the material of the necktie, and is bent so as to firmly secure the stem e to the necktie, as is shown in Fig. 4.' The strip h may form a double strip, pointed to enter the material of the necktie, so that the same can be secured, as is shown in Fig. 5.

I is the band of a collar, having the collarbutton secured in the button-holes.

I is one point of a turn-down collar, and I2 is the other point of the same.

K is the necktie, which may be of any form, shape, or design.

The stem c having been firmly secured to the necktie by means of the strip or strips h, the necktie, `when now the necktie is placed at right angle to the position it is to permanently occupy, the stem e can be inserted into the flattened hole b of the collar-button, and when entered the necktie can be placed in the desired position by turning the stem e in the hole, and thereby iirmly securing the same, and when aturn-down collar is used one end of the necktie can be entered under the point I2,

`and then the other under the point I, and the necktie will be rmly held in place.

By the use of my improved collar-button and necktie-fastener the necktie can be quickly and firmly secured and permanently held in place. It can with the same facility be removed, forming a convenient article.

I do not wish to confine myself to the exact construction shown and' described, as various modiiications may be made to combine a collar-button and necktie-fastener which will produce practically the same result.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with the flattened shank a, the head c, and shoe d of a collar-button provided with an elongated hole, of the stem c, disk g, and strip It, constructed to secure the stem to the necktie and the necktie to the col1ar-button, as described.

BERTRAND J. HORTON.
